Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Parmesan Coating

    In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Take two slices of bread and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each. Top with the remaining two slices of bread to form two sandwiches.

  3. 3

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the outside of each sandwich.

  4. 4

    Coat with Parmesan Mixture

    Press the buttered side of each sandwich into the Parmesan coating to ensure it sticks.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, coated side down. Grill for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Flip and Grill

    Carefully flip the sandwiches and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Grill the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let cool for a minute, then slice and serve hot.
